Freeboarder, back from the beach, has resumed painting on the porch. Right now he’s listening to the Flaming Lips while rendering an image from a dream he had about “the great god of nature.”
I’ve spent the morning reading and shopping online for a used canoe. We didn’t join a community pool this year, so I’m thinking about taking advantage of the nearby river and lake for some outdoor fun.

The pictures are awesome. A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man, right? I know that’s corny. I just had to say it:) But I do love the pictures. Maybe he can post his work on a blog sometime. I’d love to see it all.
You’ll enjoy the canoe a lot. It’s the only thing my husband and I refused to sell when the Recession bit us in the ass. Last night, we were out on the river until two in the morning. It was amazing.
Have a beautiful day, Christine!
